Star
Trek has always offered a positive vision of the future, a vision of
hope and optimism, and most importantly, a vision of inclusion, where
people of all races are accorded equal respect and dignity, where
individual beliefs and lifestyles are respected so long as they pose no
threat to others. We cannot turn our backs on what is happening in the
upcoming election. Never has there been a presidential candidate who
stands in such complete opposition to the ideals of the Star Trek
universe as Donald Trump. His election would take this country backward,
perhaps disastrously. We need to elect a president who will move this
country forward into the kind of future we all dream of: where personal
differences are understood and accepted, where science overrules
superstition, where people work together instead of against each other.
The resolution of conflicts on Star Trek was never easy. Don’t remain
aloof –vote! We have heard people say they will vote Green or
Libertarian or not at all because the two major candidates are equally
flawed. That is both illogical and inaccurate. Either Secretary Clinton
or Mr. Trump will occupy the White House. One is an amateur with a
contemptuous ignorance of national laws and international realities,
while the other has devoted her life to public service, and has deep and
valuable experience with the proven ability to work with Congress to
pass desperately needed legislation. If, as some say, the government is
broken, a protest vote will not fix it.
Have you just turned 18?
Have you moved? Have you never voted before? Some states have early
registration (early October) and/or absentee ballots. You can’t vote if
you are not registered. So make it so. Go to https://www.rockthevote.com
, a non-profit, non-partisan organization, and fulfill your civic duty.
Because, damn it, you are a citizen of the USA, with an obligation to
take part in our democracy! Do this not merely for yourself but for all
the generations that follow. Vote for a future of enlightenment and
inclusion, a future that will someday lead us to the stars.

Declaring Star Trek nonpolitical is one of the most manifestly ridiculous things one could say. I think he means non-partisan, which is much more arguable (but the Trump phenomenon feels extraordinary on that score, hence this unprecedented reaction). I dunno about Nichols. If I were recovering from a recent stroke I might sit this stressful election year out myself, and I love her. Also, too, Joy Reid's Uhura cosplay is totes adorbs.

The 24th Century:

Also I think we'll see the restoration of a healthy traditional,patriarchal & hierarchical society by then, instead of Star Trek'sversion which is an extrapolation or caricature of current"progressive" fantasies. Think of the society of Dune inits early stages.====

I have to say, it warms my heart to realize that the inspired,forward-thinking cryonics pioneers who are poised to leapfrogus blinkered, benighted mehums into the glorious futurewill be carrying with them the very best of contemporarythought.

I think Anissimov will look better in about 20 years asthe Radical Enlightenment's social fantasy collapses andwe see the restoration of traditional, hierarchical &patriarchal societies.

"Transgender" people aren't real. They're a propaganda construct,like "witches" a few centuries back.

Christians have good instincts about gays, even if they use religiouslanguage to express what about male homosexuality makes them uncomfortable.The gay man is the fulfillment of the Radical Enlightenment's vision ofthe atomistic individual who has no history, family, tribe, nation, community,religion, society or a commitment to the future. Gay men often don'teven bother with acknowledging each other's personhood by introducingthemselves and asking for names when they engage in sex acts with strangersin their seedy venues. They practice a sterile parody of miscegenation bybuggering gay men of other races, as we saw in the Omar Mateen story afew weeks back. And the ones with passports and disposable income travelto nonwhite countries to do more of the same with the impoverished menin these places.

I can see why gay men have become the shock troops in our elites' projectof destroying Western civilization. They are nearly perfect for the task.

Education can't turn dumb kids into smart kids. That has to comefrom genetics.

You can stop the Alt Right by stopping and reversing white dispossessionin white countries. These social-justice degenerates and their cuckservativeenablers just don't want to talk about the real issue here.

Partly from negro fatigue. I've just had it with hearing about howblacks' chronic, self-induced fuckups are somehow white people's fault.

I also have a transhumanist background (long story), and I realize thatthe browning of the planet by breeding whites with the world'sdiversity trash will just make humans dumber on average - and thatis simply incompatible with what transhumanists want to do.

I'm genuinely like that, especially when I pass along Neoreactionarywisdom. I'm like a time traveler from the 22nd Century, after the collapseof the Enlightenment Delusion, delivering what is considered mainstreamwisdom in my time - which sounds a lot like mainstream wisdom beforethe Enlightenment.

Gays have no business engaging in their degrading sexual compulsionsany way. The late Oliver Sacks lived sexually abstinent for decadesbecause his Orthodox Jewish parents shamed him successfully abouthis homosexuality. Despite Sacks's fame as an author, no one wantsto talk about the example he set for gay men.

[etc.]====

"Negro fatigue." Presumably, that means Mr. P. won't be standingin line to see _Birth of a Nation_.

I think Anissimov will look better in about 20 years asthe Radical Enlightenment's social fantasy collapses andwe see the restoration of traditional, hierarchical &patriarchal societies.

The futurologists have seen The Future... and it is a white penis.

How many years have I been saying it? Some folks appreciated the joke, but it was never only a joke. The robocultic reactionary "technoprogressivism" is patriarchal and white supremacist and celebrates status-quo amplification qua "change."

I really have to wonder if James Hughes' terror of death is still enough to keep him collegial after all this time with that strange transhumanoid attractor of generation after generation of right-wing know-nothing know-it-all white boys.
